...titles of the three theses were: "Strength and Wealth: Dostoyevsky's Bionic Hero or Six Million Ruble Man," by K. Brothers, Princeton class of '82, "Liquification and Deconstructionism.

...recurring characters. Southern Discomfort differs greatly in mood from Brown's earlier and very popular Rubyfruit Jungle.

Or might we just for once summon our true...
Despite its best intentions, Mexico has fallen into the same economic trap that ensnared Nigeria, Iran and other developing nations that found themselves suddenly oil-rich in 1974. Instead of using its wealth to pay for a program of slow and steady economic development, the country plunged headlong into accelerated industrialization. For a while, the campaign produced impressive results, creating nearly 1 million new jobs per year and propelling Mexico to the rank of the world's fourth largest oil producer, with an output of 2.7 million...
